I can only think of a couple of reasons that are relatively common in his age group. He may have been diagnosed with a terminal disease, or possibly was having severe financial problems. I don't claim to know, it's just the only things that come to mind.

He was seventy something ,I remember watching his father in some horror movies when I was younger.I believe that sometimes people in older age hurt with arthuris or other types of ache they just give up. One nevers knows whats within anothers mind unless they verbally share it.I'm going to hang around long as I can . I'll have plenty sleeping time later. :)

I would lay odds on the probability that he wasn't as decrepit as I am, meaning I probably have more reason to commit suicide than he does. Suicide is a cowards way out of life. Our reason for living is to learn and suicide is quiting school before we graduate. A natural death is a graduation. Accidental deaths are a pass but suicide is a failure.

Who kills themselves purposefully in the middle of a possitive project (making a movie), accidental like an overdose of drungs is more understandable.Murder made to look like a suicide is not out of the question either.

Life is a school. What have you learned? :brian: The greatest danger to our society is apathy, vote in every election!

I don't necessarily believe that suicide is a cowardly act. It can be, but isn't necessarily so. It really depends on the circumstances.

Regardless, it's possible that he might not have committed suicide anyway. I mean, if he did commit suicide, why did he hang himself naked? That doesn't makes sense to me. Of course, for all I know those Shaolin monks were ticked off at the way he portrayed them in movies and took their revenge or something. None of us were there (I hope), so it's very difficult to say with any degree of certainty.

You just had to go there didn't you, because Sarge, in your very essence, you like to stir things up, makes you feel better, apparently.

the Shaolin monks now aren't the real deal - they're chicom military. While very very skilled 'warriors' the chicom government is leaving out a critical part of what Shaolin IS. -they're fake copies of the real thing.

From the tidbits I have been hearing and reading about, the entire things seems rather weird to me. :?

On the issue of suicide, I used to think, as many do, it is a selfish and cowardly act, and to some extent it is. There's a side of it though, that many don't experience firsthand, which convinced me that the majority of people who have reached this point are no longer in a rational state of mind, and although it may be selfish and leave a huge wake of destruction (ie family and loved ones dumped suddenly into a cauldron of emotional turmoil), the suicide committer is usually not cognizant of the damage he/she is doing at the time. It's a real drag and a stupid point of no return, but there's not much rationality or thought going on at the time. It's a permanent solution to a temporary problem.I'm not referring to the multitude of "suicide threaters", but the real deal.

If you want to call engaging in auto-erotic self asphixiation an accident.

Yeah, it's kinda like the stuff you see in movies. :shock: ;)Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but tying things around your genitals, much less your neck, just sounds masochistic, and like there's not much meaning in life. Call me crazy. :roll: It's not that it matters to me personally- I just have difficulty relating to it. It sort of takes the suicide "motivation" off the table.

on the bright side, he won't have to deal with the embarrassment of having been rushed to the hospital after being found unconscious in the same circumstances.

Good point there. :)

Once, I was driving home from work, snacking on some Hot Tamales candy, when I almost choked to death on one. The vision that popped into my head, while I was wondering if I was going to die on the highway, was seeing my obituary in the local paper stating that I had choked to death on candy- what an embarrassment. :-D
